Gabba will have amazing transport links with the cross city rail station and only a 15-25 min walk from the city. Victoria park has no good transport links. It would have to be built at significant expense. Need to account for the additional transport costs. It will be terrible for anyone on...

And the most expensive option (the one they have chosen) delivers the least assets post olympics.

Yep its ridiculous. And if they wont to low ball the capacity they should just stick with the gabba. No need to spend 1.6 billion on a 40 thousand stadium in the middle of nowhere when they have a 40 thousand seat stadium in the city at the gabba already which is also getting a 1 billion...

Agree. But 80 thousand is out of the question. Both QLD parties aren't even willing to build a 55 thousand seat stadium. Its an utter disaster. As I said all along, Queensland is simply not big enough for an Olympics.

let's hope so.

The qsac stadium will be torn down the day after the Olympics. It will only exist for 14 days. And I don't think it's going to be 60 thousand. 40 thousand is what I'm hearing. 1.6 billion dollars and nothing to show for it. That is the definition of white elephant.

So now they are still spending billions of dollars and getting no new stadium. And having athletics at that tiny park that aint even a stadium will be one of the greatest embarrassments this country has ever seen. Its not even a commonwealth games standard stadium.

So after protests that a 2.7 billion stadium rebuild will cost to much they now plan to build a 3.4 billion stadium instead further away from the city and transport links. And with little change in capacity. What a disaster. In fact this seems corrupt. They are stealing the stadium from...

Kind of irrelevant now the gabbas gone

I stand corrected. Well the ones before 88 were all day ones.

Lol no they didnt. night time wasnt a thing back then. barcelona was during the day too.

Theres going to be a civil war in america in the next 25 years. America aint going to be providing much ioc funding for too much longer. the american conservatives are already shunning the olympics. Latest olympics rated terribly in america.

But sydney is not a good guide. Beijing and tokyo is a good guide given they are more recent and are on perths time zone. Both had swimming in the morning. our prime time is like 6am in the american east coast. 3am on the west coast. Its not happening then

How does saving money justify a waste in money?

they are doing it on the seine. Its going to be insane. a 50 thousand seat gabba just isnt going to cut it after paris.

The games arent going smaller. They are going bigger. Growing number of events as the olympics move into extreme games. Paris is going to have half a million at the opening ceremony. Both paris and LA already have massive infrastructure. having large world mega rich cities host the olympics two...

Making them end of august would be a world of different. Things start to warm up then. They are currently scheduled 2 weeks from the middle of winter. its a brisbane aldi games in the middle of winter following the paris and la games which will be massive events. Brisbane will look like a joke...

If australia competed as states instead of australia (something that was suggested at one point back in the nineties) then australians are still competing.

So 0 didnt compete. Which is my point.

And how many nations with the queen as head of state were not competing at the commonwealth games?

Ok you just did maths wrong. how many states with the queen as a head of state are not in the commonwealth games?

The reason we are in it is because the queen is our head of state. Australians chose not to kick her out during the referendum. And i have no idea why but im pretty sure it wasnt the commonwealth games. Not one pro monarchist used the commonwealth games as an argument to keep the queen

He has mentioned Larry sentstock like 6 times at this olympics. why?

We are going to need a commission into the lack of silvers.

Oh stop with the negativity. more positive emotions.

Well that ending was a disaster. still up though but have to start again though.

Not looking good now

USA arent on offensively yet. Need to get a solid lead.
